| Collection Summary: | The Staphylococcus epidermidis 19N strain was collected from the anterior nares of a healthy person in Portugal in 2001. This strain was previously characterised by whole genome sequencing and belongs to clonal lineage B. A single colony from a S. epidermidis 19N strain culture grown O/N at 37ºC (TSA, BactoTM), was used to pre-inoculate Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) medium with two different pH (5.5 and 7.4) that was incubated overnight at 37ºC under agitation. Pre-inoculums were adjusted either to pH 5.5 or pH 7.4, with hydrochloric acid. In this work, three pH transitions from pre-inoculum to inoculum were assayed. S. epidermidis pre-inoculums and the growth were performed at medium with pH 7.4, to mimic the blood pH; and pH 5.5, to mimic the skin pH. The pre-inoculum cellular density was adjusted to 0.06 (OD600) (aprox.1.5x108 CFU/mL) and used to inoculate fresh medium in the three conditions depicted in Figure 1, simulating S. epidermidis at skin and blood and a pH shock endured by S. epidermidis during the infection process from skin to blood transition. The cell cultures incubated at 37ºC with 225 rpm were followed by OD600 and recovered at mid-exponential phase for further analysis. |
